Rene Rostaing
Côte Blonde Côte-Rôtie Syrah
1991: Trusting the makeshift neck tag. Reticent nose, yet full delivery on palate. Book smart Cote Rotie, with everything you'd expect present. The youngster of the night, yet in welcome company. No hurry to drink, will continue to develop.

Jul 20th, 2014Dark ruby color with tawny rims. That's the extent of the notes as the first whiff suggests a very corked glass of wine. Still, I dug into this a bit as I love this producer, the vintage and the bottling... there is some great underlying fruit and structure remaining in this, but the corked notes unfortunately grew and grew. Bummer.
